The draft-nottingham-site-meta-04 predraft says:

|Appendix C.  Document History
|
|  o  -04
|     *  Restrict to HTTP(S) by default.
|     *  Shorten review SLA to 14 days.
|     *  Allow for multiple designated experts.
|     *  Identify mailing list for request submission and discussion.

ad 1)  Please make the proper restriction to HTTP(S) URIs evident
       from the document title as well, e.g.:

                        Defining Well-Known URIs
---
                      Defining Well-Known HTTP URIs

       "by default" is inappropriate wording; unless you specify it
       in the memo, other URI scheme definitions won't be changed.
       No 'user' of the proposed registry can simply start (ab-)using
       it for, say, 'dns' or 'rtsp' URIs !

       Equally, the title of the IANA registry you want to establish
       needs to be adapted, for the sake of precision and to avoid
       confusion.

ad 2)  This shortening is a burden for both reviewers and designated
       experts.  Experience has shown that it is in general unlikely
       to get feedback in such short timespans because the community
       is busy in a very bursty manner, and because it is impossible
       to guarantee such short response time from a single
       volunteering individual expert all over the year.
       Having to establish an Expert group for backup does not seem
       worth the effort and management overhead for such a registry.

       I therefore heartly recommend that no review deadlines shorter
       than a month should be specified.

ad 3)  As I said above, the overhead of multiple experts seems to be
       inappropriate for such tiny registry.

ad 4)  Please use  {TBD} at ietf.org  (or similar)  and
       include an RFC-Editor note requesting pre-publication fixup
       -- that will be decided by the IESG in cooperation with IANA
       (cf. RFC 5226) and need fixup shortly before RFC publication.

Kind regards,
  Alfred Hönes.
